To whom it may concern:
The 2nd Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo (SRICE) will be held in September and October 2017. SRICE aims to deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation of Belt and Road (B&R) countries, as suggested by the Vision and Actions on Jointly Building Belt and Road and MOC’s Action Plan for Cultural Development of Belt and Road Countries (2016-2020).
As the only B&R-themed high-end cultural presentation platform approved by the Chinese government so far, SRICE is made up of exhibitions, forums, performances, and trade promotions. On the principle of “promoting cultural exchanges, cooperation and co-development”, SRICE carries forward the Silk Road spirit, focuses on exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and contributes to people-to-people bonds. It is positioned as a high-end, specialized, and truly international cultural Expo, an important platform for cultural exchange and cooperation between China and other B&R countries, a springboard for Chinese culture to “go global”, and a support event for the Silk Road Economic Belt.
To pursue coordinated development of culture and other industries, and to promote cooperation and co-development of cultural industries, China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) is authorized by the sponsors to stage the SRICE Trade Fair at Dunhuang International Convention and Exhibition Center on Sept. 20th-23rd.
The Trade Fair aims to make SRICE more international, market-oriented and specialized. It will further establish SRICE as a world-renowned cultural brand; a window to, and catalyst for, China’s cultural reform and innovation; an engine and weathercock of domestic cultural industry; a springboard for Chinese culture and products; a cultural boost for western China; an incubator of new businesses and merged industries; and a platform for key cultural project investment, financing and trading.
The 10,000m2 exhibition space of SRICE will be divided into ten zones, dedicated respectively to “press, publication, radio, film and TV”, “cultural software and animation”, “design services”, “culture + fashion”, “culture + consumption”, “intangible cultural heritage”, “cultural industry and services”, “culture + tourism”, “cultural equipment manufacturing and services”, “Gansu and B&R”. Exhibitors include over 600 enterprises from nearly 30 countries and regions. An estimated 100,000-odd visitors and purchasers will attend (see Appendix II).
At the SRICE Project Cooperation, also run by CCOIC, government bodies, commercial associations, trade promotion organizations, cultural exchange and cooperation organizations, and cultural enterprises from B&R countries and beyond will introduce the prospects, policy environment, trade competitiveness, and key projects of B&R countries. Some 300 guests from B&R countries and beyond will attend, including representatives, experts, scholars and media professionals from international organizations, embassies/consulates in China, commercial associations, trade promotion organizations, cultural exchange and cooperation organizations, and cultural enterprises (see Appendix III).
You are cordially invited to SRICE in late September. We firmly believe your presence will enhance not only the recognition and visibility of SRICE, but also the cultural exchanges and cooperation of B&R countries.
You are kindly requested to send us the attached Confirmation of Participation no later than Sept. 1st, 2017. Our point persons will keep you posted. If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us.

About 2017 SRICE Trade Fair
The 2nd Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo (SRICE) will be held in September and October 2017. SRICE aims to deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation of Belt and Road (B&R) countries, as suggested by the Vision and Actions on Jointly Building Belt and Road and MOC’s Action Plan for Cultural Development of Belt and Road Countries (2016-2020).
CCOIC is entrusted by the sponsors to organize the SRICE Trade Fair and Project Promotion. We hereby give the following introduction to SRICE.
As the only B&R-themed high-end cultural presentation platform approved by the Chinese government so far, SRICE is made up of exhibitions, forums, performances, and trade promotions. On the principle of “promoting cultural exchanges, cooperation and co-development”, SRICE carries forward the Silk Road spirit, focuses on exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and contributes to people-to-people bonds. It is positioned as a high-end, specialized, and truly international cultural Expo, an important platform for cultural exchange and cooperation between China and other B&R countries, a springboard for Chinese culture to “go global”, and a support event for the Silk Road Economic Belt.
The inaugural SRICE was held in Dunhuang on Sept. 20th, 2016. Vice Premier Liu Yandong addressed the opening ceremony and read out the congratulatory letter from President Xi Jinping. With the theme of “promoting cultural exchanges, cooperation and co-development”, it attracted the participation of 569 guests from 95 foreign delegations of 85 countries and five international/regional organizations; 434 foreign guests from 66 overseas organizations attended the forums, annual exhibitions and performances; 6 current or former foreign government leaders addressed the ceremony; 1,330 Chiense guests from 23 delegations of Chinese provinces, cities as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also attended.
Speakers at the opening summit include: Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Representative of France and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Defense and Armed Forces of the French Senate; Onsari Gharti Magar, Speaker of the Nepalese Parliament; Haji Mohammad Mohaqiq, Second Deputy CEO of Afghanistan; Yim Chhay Ly, Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia; David Andre Azoulay, Cultural Advisor to the King of Morocco; and Zhu Shanzhong, Under Secretary General and Executive Director of World Tourism Organization.
The 36,000m2 exhibition space was divided into four zones and 33 sub-zones. Over 8,000 exhibits from 60-odd countries presented a panorama of Silk Road civilizations, one that was beyond the boundary of time and space. The 1st SRICE, which recorded more than 170,000 visits, created a great sensation.
To pursue coordinated development of culture and other industries, and to promote cooperation and co-development of cultural industries, China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) is authorized by the sponsors to stage the SRICE Trade Fair at Dunhuang International Convention and Exhibition Center on Sept. 20th-23rd.
